Underhand tactics of SNP

Madam, – The question of the prerogation of Parliament seems to have attracted a lot of legal attention.

The High Court in England apparently agreed with the Government’s actions taken to seek the Queen’s approval for this action, presumably in the National interest.

But remarkably that did not satisfy the SNP minority administration at Holyrood.

They took the

matter to the Court of Session in Edinburgh where apparently the judges issued a ruling that the prerogation at Westminster was unlawful.

It does seem odd that a Civil Court in Edinburgh has jurisdiction over matters agreed in London.

Of course it should be said that the actions taken by the SNP Administration seldom reflect the thoughts or aspirations of Scotland’s electorate.

Its policies are mainly political and partyrelated which in its case are inevitably of a

separatist nature.

The UK Government is justifiably challenging this ruling from a court in Edinburgh, the jurisdiction of which might indeed be questionable.

The highest Court in the UK, the Supreme Court, will rule on the matter.

Hopefully that will be an end to this whole business.

In my view this is just yet another case of the SNP trying to undermine the UK Government.

Their methods are usually quite underhand, and very costly to us the taxpayers. Robert I G Scott. Northfield, Ceres, Fife.
